Early present for my tractor

[Red144runner 657]

Might have to call this one a 5/12 8 when I'm done with it...the same guy has the reduction steering and the tie rods. Getting them next week. If i had the 1" axles I might consider the 1100 he has too. You don't realize how robust this front end is till you see it up close

if you put that forward swept axle under you 312-8 you will have to get the plow extension kit like used on the 520's. good luck with you project

I picked up the rest of the parts to to the full conversion today including:

both tie rods

steering column

steeing shaft

reduction gear block

again, all these components seem to be twice as heavy as they could be, no money was skimped making these parts.
